Here I “Grow” Again! & Nominations…

DSCN0257I have been blogging now since last November and I have to say, just when I figure one thing out something new pops up.  To be honest…I am anything but techy!!!  It takes me a while to figure things out sometimes and GOOGLE isn’t always my friend.  Ha!

Today I woke up to find that I have been nominated for 2 blog awards!!! Ahhhh!!!! Excitement and panic hit me both at the same time!  In my head I’m thinking “What ??? I’m only a tiny blog with 84 followers!”  Then I started thinking…”How do I know if I won?…What do I do now?…I don’t know how some things in Blog Land work…what if I don’t respond right and offend someone?…What if I don’t quite “GET IT”????????…..”  (Yes…my punctuation is very poor…sorry!)

THEN….After thanking the person who nominated me…I replied to her in a bit of a panic with the same questions I expressed above.  She sweetly replied with this…

Being nominated means you’ve already won. Weird, I know. Just do the same thing I did – all the instructions (up to my answers to their questions.) Then answer MY questions to you, don’t answer theirs.
I was the same as you with my first. You can answer when you post next or whenever you figure it out. No committee is waiting, big deep breath now. And breathe out. If you google the awards you’ll see they are for encouragement to each other, not to freak you out, lol.

THANK YOU Found This Painted That!!!! First for the nomination and for rescuing me from my little panic…I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be sometimes!

Here are the awards…So Flattered and tickled to be considered award worthy…Thank you again!

versatileblogger111sunshine-award11So…These are the rules as were presented to me…

1.  Thank the person who nominated you.

Done!  Found This Painted That is certainly the most creative person I have ever known…she always has something fantastic on the go and I love her personality…We have a lot in common and if we lived in the same country I could see myself hanging out with her. (even though I don’t know her name!)

2.  Place the award badges on your blog page.

These are the questions posed to me:

1. & 2. If you could have anyone decorate a room in your house, who would it be and which room?

Hands down Sarah Richardson!!! I looooove her style!  I would have her do my kitchen…I looooooove her kitchens!!!!!!!!!!!  Did I mention I Loooove her???

3. If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want to have with you? ( And don’t say a boat)

I know I should say my husband or family but… I’m going to have to say snacks, Restoration Hardware Magazines and tools so I can make the things I see in the magazines!  Ha!

4. Disco or Ballroom?

Ballroom!  Who doesn’t want to get dressed up in a beautiful gown and be held close by their honey?

I love to read but rarely get the chance to do so uninterrupted…I enjoy  inspirational books and like anything by Max Lucado.

9. What do you put on your french fries?

Ranch dressing or sour cream! Mmmmmmmmm!

10. Is Paris always a good idea?
